BC Separatism
***
... The Okanagan and Fraser Valley fruit farmer is not the
docile habitant of Quebec; our loggers and miners in this
province are real men; while the great middle classes in our
British Columbia cities average up a people unequalled on earth.
If we are forced to it by Eastern Canada, we can separate and
pay our own way and go it alone; and we can be sure we will have
100 per cent British support. Victoria and Vancouver are world
seaports. This province is a great hunting and sporting country.
And regardless of the tongues and races in the rest of Canada,
we are and propose to remain, a British people. There must be a
more equitable sharing among Canadians of things Canadian, or
else this province must look about in self- defence to find ways
and means to federate these parts into a DOMINION OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA.
